Ratcliffe & Sons | Handyman & Roofing in Hanover, PA 17331

Hanover's weather, with its humidity and seasonal temperature swings, can accelerate corrosion on traditional metal flashing. We fix it by first removing the rusted material, treating any underlying wood for damage, and installing new, high-quality flashing—often using more rust-resistant metals or coated options—sealed properly to prevent future leaks and protect your roof's integrity.

Repairing a chimney flashing leak involves a careful inspection to find the breach, removing the compromised sealant and flashing sections, and installing new step flashing and counterflashing that's custom-fitted to your chimney and roof. We then apply professional-grade sealants. To prevent recurrence, we ensure a precise fit and often recommend a periodic maintenance check, especially after severe weather, to catch minor issues early.

Absolutely. Part of our comprehensive handyman service includes repairing the interior damage that often follows a flashing leak. This can involve fixing stained or sagging ceilings, repairing damaged drywall, addressing mold or mildew concerns, and repainting—effectively restoring your home's interior after we've permanently sealed the exterior roofing problem.
